Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal

Please enable the -d and -D debugging options for ntpd.

They appear to have been disabled due to this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/100347

Ubuntu has re-enabled debugging. I also run ntpd on an Ubuntu natty
machine and do not get any "config_timer and resolve_timer spew".
https://bugs.launchpad.net/+bugs/47683

Also please re-add the documentation of the -d and -D options to the
ntpd manual page.
